Fiorentina Babacar [now seems to be heading for Palace]

[pishhead]

Always been enchanted with the place. Visited with my parents in 67 and been back many times since. Il Latini my favourite restaurant on the planet. Rabbit Ravoli Yum. This would be my Lottery win home, along with the NYC pad of course.

Where in Tunbridge wells is that?

TW and environs, the spiritual home of Subbuteo.

He definitely has pace and power. He just doesn't seem lightening quick when running with the ball, probably because he's better off linking up than going solo.

If we managed to bring this man in and also the Porto forward. That could really be a potent combination upfront. 2 strong centre forwards, one is immense at hanging in the air and linking up play, the other has trickery and the want to run with the ball, and yet they both can finish and both have good 1st touches.

But will it happen?

Of course it will.

Yes all very true, but, NSC will write them off as useless if both don't return hat tricks in their first game for us!

We're getting linked to some amazing players but are clearly still trying to get value. Excited to see which club cracks against the Lizard

 

[Stumpy Tim]

I want this guy.

How strange, whilst in a French cafe yesterday, this tune came on. I'm sure we could inherit the chorus as a chant.

Babacar - but cannot find tweet -

1.36 into that clip is slightly concerning considering it's a video of his best moments.

If this comes off I'd be f**king stoked having expressed my desire to sign him not once, not twice but thrice over the last year or so:

Yeah I thought that too ! Seems to miss more than he scores and the ones he does score are deflections !

Although there are some tidy finishes in amongst the deflections and missed opportunities.

Sounds mouthwatering

Brilliant! Nice, simple chant for your average football fan, has a little "je ne sais quoi", and no risk of being accused of pinching anyone else's chant. May need to edit "Babacar, où es tu?" to something a little more positive.

 

[Urchin]

Anyone know if he has an EU passport, or will he have to apply for a work permit?
